The Highstreet brand, renowned in the insurance and retail industry, has been engaging in active expansion and restructuring. It established a specialty services unit named Brightstone under the leadership of Goodreau and made several top-tier executive rearrangements. In order to extend its foothold, Highstreet made several acquisitions, including the Mitchell Agency in Florida and the Dudek deal to strengthen its Michigan footprint.
Furthermore, the brand is also increasing its partnerships to expand benefit offerings. The revitalization of Manchester's high street became a model to inspire European cities. However, there were incidents of violence near Highstreet locations, such as a shooting near 11th Avenue and North High Street.
Despite some misfortunes, expansions continued with the acquisition of Wingert Insurance Agency for employee benefits expertise and Columbia Insurance for northwestern presence. Highstreet further entered the Kentucky arena with the acquisition of RISE Partners. The brand also bought Flagler Insurance Agency to solidify its presence in Florida.
Highstreet is also making strides in real estate. For instance, plans for a prominent High Street site switch from apartments to a hotel. In Bellevue, High Street's residential project awaits design review approval. Moreover, Highstreet Equity Partners have invested in Sober Sidekick, and revitalization of the UK high street looks promising with the possible return of Global Fashion Brand Topshop.
